Run python script from PyCharm. Import in Pycharm

Question
It seems like Pycharm 1.5.3 makes some magic, or I missed something.
I have following file structure:
/sp
/sp/tools.py
/sp/test/main.py
Files contain following code
main.py:
__author__ = 'username'
import tools
import sys
def test1():
print locals()
print globals()
print sys.path
print test1
if __name__ == '__main__':
test1()
tools.py:
class SettingsDictionary(dict):
def __init__(self, seq, **kwargs):
dict.__init__(self, seq, **kwargs)
When I run main.py this is written in console:
C:\Python27\python.exe D:/Workspace/Python/sp/test/main.py
{}
{'test1': <function test1 at 0x0143D0B0>, '__warningregistry__': {("Not importing directory 'C:\\Program Files\\JetBrains\\PyCharm 1.5.3\\helpers\\tools': missing __init__.py", <type 'exceptions.ImportWarning'>, 2): True}, '__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>, '__file__': 'D:/Workspace/Python/sp/test/main.py', '__author__': 'p.grechishkin', 'sys': <module 'sys' (built-in)>, '__name__': '__main__', '__package__': None, 'tools': <module 'tools' from 'D:\Workspace\Python\sp\tools.pyc'>, '__doc__': None}

Process finished with exit code 0
I don't understand why import function knows about this module 'tools': . When I run this script from windows cmd - everything is okay. I get 'ImportError: No module named tools'
Solution
The import work in the example you provided because your python path contains D:\\Workspace\\Python\\sp
which is where your tools module is.
When you run a module from standard python interpreter, it only adds the path to current module in sys.path
.
OTHER TIPS
You're missing an __init__.py
in the /sp
directory. Create a file with that name, and you should be able to import.
